摘要:
A method of producing starch-emulsifier compositions by heating a starch in the presence of an emulsifier to form a complex with unique properties. The product can be further treated to obtain greater than about 20% short chain amylose. Starch-emulsifier compositions (e.g., powders, gels, pastes) produced by this method and food products containing the starch-emulsifier composition are also described.

The invention provides a native gellan gum-containing composition, and particularly based on the multifunctionality thereof, provides freeze/thaw-resistant gel compositions and dehydrated gels and jellies available therefrom, rice cake-like gels and rice cake substitutes, copy foods, cold retention compositions and cooling agents. The invention further provides the use of the above composition as additives for the expression of unique functions, for example a dispersion stabilizer, an additive for thickened compositions, a heat resistance-imparting agent, a syneresis inhibitor, a foam stabilizer, and a food palatability/body-improving agent.
摘要:
Physically modified starch products are prepared using pressure and heat such as by extruding starting material starch which optionally can be admixed with gums and/or surfactants. The properties of the products can be adjusted by varying the moisture content of the materials in the extruder and the temperature and pressure at a die plate provided at the discharge end of the extruder. The screw elements in the extruder are selected with the goal of using enough mixing elements at the discharge end to keep the pressure in the extruder barrel as high as possible over a short distance. The physically modified starch products are made up of partially to fully cooked starch and some raw starch particles. They are highly dispersible in cold or hot water with hot or cold swelling viscosity.

Soluble bulking agents for replacing up to 100% of the sucrose or other soluble, simple carbohydrates in edible formulations are provided. The bulking agents are substantially non-digestible and have an average molecular weight range of 500 to 50,000. Also provided are edible formulations containing these bulking agents and processes for preparing these bulking agents, preferably by enzymatically depolymerizing naturally-occurring, heteropolysaccha-rides such as pectin, tamarind seed gum, guar gun, locust bean (carob seed) gum, konjac gum, xanthan gum, alginates, agar or other food gums to yield a mixture of heteropolysaccharide fragments having an average DP of 3 to 75, preferably 3 to 30. The process employs one or more enzymes such as 1,4-beta-D-Mannarmannohydrolyase, or 1,6-alpha-D-Galactosidase for degrading 1,4-beta-D-linked mannose-containing heteropolysaccharides (e.g., guar gum); or one or more enzymes such as 1,4-beta-D-Glucanase, 1,4-beta-D-Glucanglucanohydrolase, and 1,4-beta-D-Glucanglucohydrolyase or 1,4-beta-D-glucan cellobiohydrolase for degrading 1,4-beta-D-linked glucose-containing heteropolysaccharides (e.g., tamarind seed gum).

摘要:
A method for processing guar endosperm in which guar splits are brought into contact with an amount of liquid ammonia at least sufficient to wet the guar splits at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of at least 25° C. The remaining available guar split/liquid ammonia system volume is increased in an explosion like manner by reducing the pressure by at least about 5 bars resulting in the sheaths of the guar splits being torn open to result in a product that can be processed more easily, such as by grinding.
摘要:
Non-frozen low-fat food emulsions comprise a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed phase which comprises fat particles, gel particles and fat-soluble flavor molecules; substantially all of the fat particles are located within the gel particles, and at least 35 wt % of the flavor molecules are located in a plurality of the gel particles. The rate of release of the flavor molecules from the emulsion is delayed, thereby imparting the taste and mouthfeel of a full-fat emulsion.
摘要:
A composition and method for reducing cholesterol, facilitating weight loss and aiding in the maintenance of a stable weight in humans, wherein the composition includes at least one preferred embodiment comprising a mixture of oat bran generally in an amount of about 83% to 85% by weight, glucosamine HCL generally in an amount about 6% to 8% by weight, glucomannan generally in an amount of 5% to 6% by weight, an amount of apple pectin or other fruit or vegetable pectin generally in an amount of about 2% by weight. Stearic acid may also be included in the composition in an amount of generally about 1% to 2% by weight of the composition.
摘要:
Psyllium-containing drink mix compositions comprising acid (e.g., citric acid) and granulated, less water soluble base (e.g., calcium carbonate agglomerated with maltodextrin).
摘要:
A propolis food product that contains propolis active ingredients with improved bio-absorbability and is readily ingested. The propolis food products containing propolis extracts are gelled by gelatinizers. The gelantinizers are materials such as shiitake extracts, curdlan, agarics extracts and further including sulfated saccharides, .beta.-glucans, carrageenan, locust bean gum, xanthan gum, or agar. The propolis food products are prepared by water or alcohol extraction. Furthermore, the steps involve preparing a gelantinizer solution by adding a gelatinizer to water and adding propolis extracts thereto so that the amount of the propolis extracts in the food product is from 2 to 25 w/w %, a gel composition is then formed by admixing the solution in order to uniformly disperse the propolis extracts.
